    On the face of it, it – the speech – looks to be seeking the middle ground of opinion.

    Regardless of whether it is right or wrong, the question I keep coming back to is; Why 2018? It just leaves me with such an uneasy feeling in my gut.

    I think far more scary in the position of the Labour party; no referendum of any description and happy with the status quo.

    Call me anti-social, but I hate going out to the “High Street”, or even the “Shopping Centre”. It is a miserable experience for me. I even try not to go to the supermarket. I hate the abundance of young mums, sully-faced teenager and old people that have nothing better to do than block the way through in large groups. I hate people not watching where they are going, I hate – it seems – everyone having to be doing something with their phone every dying second. In fact, as they talk so loudly into their little smartphones, it just serves to reinforce my opinion that they have nothing of any interest to say in the first place. And, getting parked can be a pain at best. Just getting into the car park, you have to go round cars stopping to let off painfully lazy people that can’t walk an extra 100m and that’s before getting a space that someone casually drives in as you were.

    No, bring on the internet. I can buy what I want, when I want, and completely dodge a large part of society I have no interest in.

    In fact, the only social experience I want is down the pub with friends that are actually interesting.

    Anyone in the know, know if this is a good thing? I would have thought so. How will this affect Luton?

    I like the shot of the BA B734, it looks quite smart painted with the crest.

    I agree, the first shot is great. I bet the temperature wasn’t.

    Once the B787 is flying again, the problems will fade from public memory. They will be more concerned with ticket price than if it is a Dreamliner or not. The early crashes of the A320 has not hindered its success.

    It’s not often I can say for a branding design that I like it, but I do.

    I think it shows the emphatic pride and boldness that most Americans have. Or rather, it fits my perception on how Americans love their country.

    I think whoever done the branding done well.

    The evacuation with hindsight was on the side of overreaction, but you can also see why a crew might be jumpy with a battery fault and – suspected? – smoke? In my view a pilot is paid to make decisions and they made a decision.

    I am a bit shocked the FAA took the step of grounding the B787. Time will tell if it is a knee-jerk reaction.

    Well, people do pay that much for the iPhone. Therefore, Apple doesn’t need to sell as many. Or, an Android has to sell far more than the iPhone to make a similar profit.

    I think the bigger issue is how fragmented the market is getting. I have a reasonable interest in technology and I find it increasingly difficult to keep up with what is out there.
